《Destiny Rewritten》Chapter 68
Advertisement
When Ra's men returned with the Ghost, Oliver was only half surprised when he recognized who it was and he had to resist the urge to put an arrow in him now. That would come later, though it probably wouldn't be an arrow.
"No way." Oliver said.
"You know this man?" Ra's asked, surprised.
"I know his brother. His name is Andy Diggle and he's supposed to be dead." Oliver said.
"Well, once he gives us what we need, we can correct that error." Ra's said and Oliver had no problems with that call, since it had been this son of a bitch that had gotten Laurel killed before and he had no intention of letting history repeat itself.
"Wait, Oliver, shouldn't we let John know? I mean Andy was his brother." Thea said.
"We don't even know where John is right now and it would take too long to try and find him. Besides, Andy has information we need now." Oliver said.
"Still, this is his brother. Maybe there's a way John can convince Andy to turn on Hive." Laurel said.
"No. Andy's loyalties to Hive are too great. We can't risk that we might be wrong." Oliver said.
"It's John's brother." Laurel protested.
"No he's not." A familiar voice said and they all turned to see John Diggle standing at the entrance of the lair.
"John, not that it isn't good to see you, but what are you doing here?" Oliver asked as Laurel and Thea went to hug him.
"Got a few days off from the job, but I suck at vacation, so I thought I'd see if I could be of use here. Imagine my surprise when I find out that my brother is alive and apparently working for the same organization that ordered the hit on him." John said
"Wait what?" Roy asked, since this was news to everyone but Oliver.
"In my downtime, I've been looking more into Andy's death, especially after I found out that his killer is a man with aim almost as good as Oliver's. Turns Andy was the target and it turns out that that the reason he was targeted is because his own criminal actions interfered with Hive's." John said angrily as he approached his brother.

"John, you got it all wrong." Andy tried, but John wouldn't have any of it.
"You were dirty back in the day and you're dirty now. Only now you've gone from corrupt military operatives to actual terrorist organizations." John said, disgusted that he'd once been proud to call this man his brother, but this time, Oliver wasn't going to try to talk him down.
"Think you can get him to squeal?" Oliver asked.
"I'm guessing that Hive trains their recruits to resist torture?" John asked, this question directed at Ra's, who nodded.
"Depends on how close to the League's methods Damien got." Ra's answered.
"Well, I say we find out just how resistant to torture he is." Oliver said and Ra's looked pleased by Oliver's attitude, while the others looked surprised.
"Oliver, are you sure about this?" Laurel asked.
"I don't like it, but sometimes you have to do things you rather wouldn't and cross lines that shouldn't be crossed to get results. Trust me, I learned that the hard way." Oliver said.
"I'm just making sure you're not going to do something you'll regret." Laurel said.
"I never said I was going to be the one to torture him. Ra's agents have already started, only right to let them finish the job." Oliver said.
"First, Mr. Schott, what is it you need from him to access the Hive network?" Ra's asked.
"His retinal scan and his thumbprint. Preferably not painfully removed from his body." Winn said as he held out the phone.
"Do it. Unlock the phone and we'll give you a quick, relatively painless death. Refuse, and we'll see just how long you can hold out." Oliver said.
"Never." Andy said.
"I got this." John said as he slid his ring on and used it to project a bright green beam of energy at Andy.
"Whoa, cool new trick." Winn said.
"What are you doing to him?" Sara asked.
"Relax, just doing this." John said as the energy seemed to grab Andy's hand and force him to place his thumb on the phone's scanner.

"Thumbprint verified. Retinal scan still needed." the phone said with a computerized voice.
"Think you can use that ring to pry open his eye?" Oliver asked, since Andy now his eyes squeezed shut tightly.
"No problem." John said as he used the ring's energy to then pry open both of Andy's eyes, since they didn't know which one it needed.
"Retinal scan confirmed." the phone said as John finally released his ring's hold on his brother.
"What do we do with him now?" Thea asked, when suddenly, Oliver had an arrow his hand and he jammed it into Andy's heart.
"Whoa. And I thought I'd be the one to kill him." John said.
"No John. He maybe a monster, but no one should have to live with the pain of killing their own family." Oliver said, since he remembered how much killing Andy had affect John the first time around.
"You okay Ollie?" Laurel asked, since Oliver was actually panting.
"Yeah, just been since I've killed someone by jamming an arrow into them instead of just shooting them." Oliver said, though the real reason was that he'd finally settled the score with Andy himself for getting Laurel killed.
"Are we in?" Sara asked Winn, trying to change the topic.
"We are in. I'm patching our systems into Hive's network now, they won't even know we're there." Winn said.
"So, how long will it take you to find Darhk's location?" Oliver asked.
"Not sure, but in the meantime, we can start dismantling his operations with intel." Winn said.
"It's a good start." Laurel said and Oliver nodded.
"We'll share any intel we find with you." Oliver said to Ra's, who nodded.
"We will do the same on our end, so long as our goals remain the same." Ra's said.
"My team's mission is clear. Save and protect our city. Taking out a madman like Darhk clearly fits into that criteria. So for now, yes, our objectives align. But once he's gone, I'm assuming you'll leave." Oliver asked.
"Indeed. There will be no need for us to remain here once Darhk is dead." Ra's said as he and the League retreated.
"You don't trust him do you?" Sara asked.
"Not in the slightest. Ra's is hiding something from us and I honestly don't believe that he will really leave once Darhk is dead." Oliver said.
"Let's worry about that when we actually get to it. In the meantime, we have work to do." Laurel said.
"Care to tag along for old time sakes?" Oliver asked John, who grinned.
"I'm insulted you have to ask man." John said.
"Oh John, I'm glad you're here, since I actually have a favor I need to ask you." Oliver said.
"What is it?" John asked.
"Well in case you haven't heard, Laurel and I got engaged." Oliver said.
"Yeah I heard. Congratulations." John said, wondering where this was going.
"Thank you." Laurel said.
"Well, I'd like you to be my best man." Oliver said, since he'd actually been John's best man when he and Lyla had gotten remarried.
"Really. I'd be honored." John said.
"Speaking of weddings, Alex and I will be out of town this weekend for Clark and Lois's wedding." Sara said.
"Tell them we said hi and congratulations." Laurel said, since it had become common knowledge among their team since they'd dealt with Thawne that Clark was Superman.
"I will. But don't hesitate to call me if you need me." Sara said.
"We have a Green Lantern backing us up, I think we'll manage." Oliver said, since he was honestly a bit curious about everything John could do with his new powers.
Sara nodded as they all moved to suit up.

Natural Alchemist
Will is poor. This is a fact he does not like about himself. Even back at his home village he was considered poor, but poor in the big city means something completely different than poor in a small village... It means ten hour days of hard manual labor with barely enough money to survive, and poor living conditions. He's sick of it, and desperate for change. Perhaps that was what made him decide to spend such a large portion of his savings on a mysterious potion from that beggar... That, and it seemed so special when he held it. But ever since that day, he's been having the strangest dreams... And the work is really starting to take a toll on his body... Author's Note: I wasn't sure which mature content warnings I should put on this novel, as I'm pretty much pantsing the story. I'm putting them there mostly as a percaution, but also to not limit myself as to where the story can go. This is my first time writing and publishing anything substantial. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
